Monitoring Restore Points

Restore points are time stamped directories on an S3 replication peer or an async replication peer that let you access data as it was at the point in time when the data was replicated. Each active protected path with a replication peer creates a restore point every time it performs replication. The name of each restore point is the time of the creation of a snapshot for replication. Restore points remain on a replication peer independent of whether the protected path that created them still exists.

The progress of a restore point shows as IN_PROGRESS while the protected path is copying the data for the restore point, and changes to COMPLETE when done. The logical size is the total size of the data set represented by a restore point, while the physical size is the amount of data used to store the restore point. The protected path copies the delta between the last restore point and the current one.

From the left navigation menu, select Data Protection and then Restore Points.

The following information can be displayed for each restore point:
